Chapter 433
Athena looked at these people and laughed. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take revenge on you for creating rumors about me?”
Upon hearing this, Gia and Zoe’s expressions instantly changed. Gia opened her mouth but could not say anything. Zoe’s
smile froze on her face.
Both the Kennedy and Murray families had declined so quickly. They suspected Athena but had no conclusive evidence.
The naive Jodie Harper, with her beauty but little sense, indignantly showed the photos and videos on her phone, saying, “You were seen at the movies with Mr. Graham, all cozy and affectionate. Are you going to deny it? Or is it that Mr. Graham only wants to have an underground relationship with you and doesn’t want you to reveal your relationship?”
She also wanted to get close to a top–notch rich and handsome man like Mr. Graham. She was even willing to be his lover as long as she could be pampered and doted on by him. Hence, she was extremely jealous of Athena.
The other girls also echoed, “If you and Mr. Graham are really lovers, then announce it with Mr. Graham! If you don’t announce it officially, it means that you’re just playing around. Of course, it’s Mr. Graham playing with you.”
Today was the first day of school. Coupled with the clear weather, the dormitory area was bustling with people.
Be it Athena, Gia, or the others, all of them were beauties, attracting countless students to watch.
Faced with everyone’s whispers, Athena smiled. She raised her phone and dialed a video call.
Avery charming man appeared in the video, smiling as he said, “I’m truly delighted to see you as soon as I arrive at the
company.”
Exclamations erupted from the surroundings. “Mr. Graham? It’s actually Mr. Graham! He’s really handsome. I can feel his handsomeness even through the screen…”
“Good morning.” Athena smiled. “As soon as I arrived at school, a few girls who were jealous of me stopped me and said that I was one of your lovers. They said that you were just playing with me and that I would not have a good ending.
They also said that Zayn became a superstar because I slept with you. I’m quite unhappy now, so I’m video calling you to confirm our relationship.”
The Last Blood had already exceeded 800 million dollars in the box office in half a month after its release.
Additionally, as the new year had passed, the weather in the north had begun to improve. People in the north were flocking to cinemas, and many companies and enterprises, having survived the toughest first week of work, were starting to organize group movie outings for their employees.
Also, many troops, schools, government agencies, and other organizations also organized movie–watching activities.
The forecasting platforms all agreed that it would not be a problem for The Last Blood to break through one billion dollars.
After Matthew heard this, his smile disappeared and his eyes became cold. “Tell me the names of those girls. I must take revenge on them. Of course, you are kind–hearted. It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me. I can find out.”
Gia and the others‘ expressions changed. They subconsciously took a few steps back. They raised their hands to cover their faces and turned their faces to the side, afraid that Matthew would see them.
Being fearless due to ignorance, Jodie didn’t shy away; instead, she boldly stepped up to Athena’s phone, puffing out her chest and cooingly said, “Mr. Graham, I am Jodie, one of the top ten beauties from Kitmore University. My brother was once engaged to Athena, but Athena is not of good character, often seen in questionable company with wealthy men. My brother, seeing her true colors, broke off their engagement…”

Before she could finisht, Matthew called the landline expressionlessly and said without any warmth, “This is my order. Immediately cancel all cooperation between the Graham Group and the Harper Group.
“From now on, Lucas and Jodie are banned from setting foot in any property owned by the Graham Group, including shopping malls, cinemas, hotels, restaurants, and the like!”
The originally lively intersection instantly fell silent. Other than Athena, everyone was looking at Matthew in shock. Did he do that just because Jodie offended Athena?
It was so terrifying and brutal.
No matter how stupid Jodie was, she knew what Matthew’s order meant to the Harper family. She immediately panicked and wiped her tears. “Mr. Graham, I know my mistake. Can you let my family off? As long as you let my family go, I’m willing to…”
“If you say another word, I’ll make the Harper Group’s share price drop to the limit today!” Matthew interrupted her coldly. “Also, get lost from the camera of Miss Donovan’s phone immediately. Don’t let Miss Donovan and I see you again.”
“Mr. Graham…” Jodie placed her hands on her big chest and cried. She wanted to seduce Matthew and plead.
But Gia covered her mouth and dragged her aside.
“Miss Donovan, there’s something I’ve been wanting to say for a long time.” Matthew looked at Athena and his voice softened again. “Although this isn’t the right time, I hope you’ll allow me to say it.”
Athena nodded and said with a smile, “Alright, go ahead.”
Matthew stood up and looked straight into the camera. He said seriously, “Miss Donovan, I’ve admired you for a long time. I really want to be your boyfriend. Will you be my girlfriend?”
Amidst the uproar and commotion, Athena covered her red face with one hand and said with a little shyness and a lot of joy, “I do. I’ve liked you for a long time too. I’m willing to be your girlfriend.”
In the video, Matthew’s face seemed to flush, a rare sight as he displayed a faint, shy expression. He slightly turned his cheek aside, his gaze drifting, embodying the demeanor of someone who wanted to look at her yet felt embarrassed to do so.
Even his voice became a little stuttering, “Miss Donovan, can I call you… Athena?”
He had wanted to call Athena by her name for a long time, but he was too shy. He felt a little embarrassed…
Also, so many people called her by her first name, and he felt that he should be different from others. He wanted to be Athena’s boyfriend and… husband.
Athena chuckled and said with a red face, “Sure.”
She thought, ‘What should I do? Seeing Matthew’s reaction, I’m also so shy. I don’t even dare to look at his face…‘
“O–Okay…” Matthew seemed to be tongue–tied, “Athena…”
Everyone was stunned. Their love was so pure
and innocent.
Then, Matthew and Athena tilted their heads slightly and glanced at each other, looking like they wanted to say something but were too embarrassed to…
Everyone was speechless. ‘How long are they going to be so… affectionate?‘
Although this scene was pleasant, the audience wouldn’t like such progress and
pace.
At this moment, a boy hurriedly pushed through the crowd and barged in. He said loudly, “I heard that Athena has a

boyfriend. That won’t do. Athena can only be my girlfriend! Whoever dares to snatch Athena from me, I’ll destroy his entire family!”
